First off, as far as Tolan's goes. The only 2 pieces that have any stats is the BP an Leggings, an not ever rangers is gonna be lucky enough to be in a guild that can even take out Trakanon or Venril Sathir. Ofcourse if they can go to Hate, then they should atleast be able to take out VS... lol. Tolan's costs to much for the crappy effects it has. Oh, an btw... Ranger Untamed armor from Hate is brown in color, NOT green! Ranger Thorny Vine armor from Fear is green.
The boots for invigor helps, but once you past 100 in stamina, you really dont have to worry anymore, cause even if yor stamina bar drops to 0, it will NOT affect your hits anymore. The arms for stinging swarm is such a weak dot, I never use it. I waited till I could cast Drones of Doom /shrug. As for the guantlets, snare sucks unless its all you have. Once you get Ensnare, thats what you should be using cause Ensare last 10 minutes! The Helm, well nice to have manafree superior camo, but think about it? You CANT afford to not have superior camo memorized, cause the helmet takes to LONG to cast! IF you were say, in Kael, an superior camo dropped? You might not have time waiting for the helmet to cast, so you better just use the spell normally an get re-invised fast!
Hate armor is'nt so bad. I had this helment for a good while an it served its purpose, Ac close to Tolan's helm with nice stats =). Since rangers are melee support for warriors, NOT tanks. Even a Ranger with ac1000 like I use to hear so many times is NOT a tank, especially with luclin mobs now. A ranger will quickly find to many mobs that proc damage on you, like say... those mean Coteries in Tenebrous Mountains an Maiden's Eye? You better get a Paladin or Warrior to tank, unless your level 60 with both epics to be fast an slow your mob an full Velious armor or better to take the damage an have the HP. You rangers that INSIST on trying to be tanks better WAKE UP! Thats why rangers get a bad name an are called Paper Tanks, cause your trying to do a job you were NOT meant to do. Each class has their strengths an limits.
Warriors were meant to get from 1400 an more in AC with about 6k in Hp for a reason! Only time a ranger should tank, is when the guild asks him/her to until a replacement tank is called for or the Warrior that died is rezzed. An the disciplne: Weaponshield is a blessing when this happens.
